  The theory of how the telephone works is very similar to that used
  to send telegrams over wire. The telegraph system having been around
  for 30 or so years before Bell and Gray started their work on the
  telephone. Bell/Gray just expanded on what was there to allow the
  adaptation of voice, and multi-direction communication (two people
  speaking at once for example). So the sending of text messages over
  telephone isn't a difficult thing to do seeing as the infrastructure
  was based partially on it ;)

  It'd probably be worth taking most of the rest of these replies to
  the original thread to tbot... could get interesting, and chances
  are, it'll drift OT pretty quick as well.
